In this episode, we catch up with Dylan Walsh — the young filmmaker behind Garden State Journal, the media project that’s turning Melbourne’s everyday magic into visual poetry.Dylan started Garden State Journal in 2022 as a way to “document what Melbourne meant to him,” capturing quiet streets, everyday moments, and local characters with a nostalgic, ’70s-inspired aesthetic. Through his TikTok and Instagram films, he’s turned the mundane into something cinematic — footpaths, coffee shops, people walking, and fleeting signatures of city life that many of us miss. We talk about:How Dylan blends film influences (think old-school New York, Australian grit) into his Melbourne vision His early days filming friends, saving up for gear by doing night shifts, and the first camera he still uses today What “romanticising the regular” means to him — turning small, ordinary moments into something viewers pause and feel How he selects where to shoot — consulting locals, seeking iconic corners, and balancing intimacy with distance Whether you’re into filmmaking, nostalgia, city life, or simply want to see Melbourne from someone else’s loving lens — this episode gives you a new way to look at the city you thought you knew.#DylanWalsh #GardenStateJournal #MelbourneFilm #Nostalgia #EverydayMoments #CreatorStoryThank you for listening!
